The other seriously important thing right now is experience. But I doubt there's a kicker with more than 3 stars, judging how slow exp is increasing and how few plays a kicker has per game...  But that's why it would be (theoretically) possible to create a Frankenstein super-Kicker/Punter ...... buy a youngish guy off the TM (or from your YA), make sure he's got v.good experience & strength ... and then just train his K/P skill like crazy. Of course, you can do like a certain East-European Manager does and attempt to sneakily boost the experience of a K/P by playing them at almost every position in the DC during Friendlies just to boost their snap-count. 
I'd be a bit torn about doing that though, because if the player had great Strength & experience then , providing Teamwork was above average, I'd want him at OL and I'd forever be thinking that using him at K/P was maybe a waste. |

I did think about this last season aswell.
My kicker with: 40 int 3.5* experience 50 str 36 kicking Did mis alot of FG all from 50+ yards to about 22 yards... I was a bit angry at times so i actually did put my punter as kicker for some games AND he did peforme much better. He´s stats was 11 attemts and 10 was good in the range of 20-49 yards. He but it between the poles (nearly) every time. And his skills was: 8 int 3.5 experience 50 str 15 kicking So maybe less intelligent players is better at kicking? xD This seasons seems the same where my kicker is missing alot of "easy" kicks. |

Too less data to create a trend or statistic from it, King

Odd comparing season one to season 6. Kickers seem to be all over the place as far as accuracy sometimes. Mine can make 4-4 in one game and then go 0-3 the next. I can only assume the kicking skill needs to get over 40 for kickers to start getting consistently good. Mine has a kicking skill of 31.8 and strength of 37.6 and he is 20-30 on the season and 46-89 career. Haven't looked at him per season yet. It is a relation of kicking skills (kicking and....) and the distance to be made. To say anything about the stats you need to include the yardages here I know Pete, was just giving some general info about consistency. My kickers miss a lot under 50 yards but I didn't look at the exact yardage per attempt, was just going by memory a bit. Do you have to look at each game's stats to see all the attempts or am I not seeing some stats somewhere? |

Thats a lotta work! 
Would be nice to have those FG distances tracked in the stats...  |

Well, my kicker (kicking 36) failed fg attempts of 18, 19 (2 times) and 21 yds. Two of those attemps where in a "power mode friendly cup" (so kicking skill= 40)

Professional & college kickers just don't miss from under 30 yards very often and should never miss from under 22 or so. Anything from 30-39 should be at least 75% successful and anything over 40 should be at least 50% successful. If a kicker in the NFL had those stats (100% under 30, 75% 30-39, & 50% from 40+) they wouldn't have a job for very long. I would even argue that a college kicker with those stats would be in danger of losing a scholarship. |
